Hi,

I would suggest you to take a pregnancy test in case of sexual intercourse in the last 2 weeks.Pregnancy is to be first ruled out in case of delayed period in any women of reproductive age group.

Delayed period can also occur due to stress, crash dieting, vigorous exercise or hormonal imbalance. Nutritional deficiency should also be ruled out. You may require a course of hormonal pills after monitoring results of pelvic ultrasound, complete blood count and thyroid function test.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
